[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 517114, member: 1967"] My difficult child took out over $15000 in Pell Grants and FAFSA loans for "school" and lived on it for a year. She didn't finish a single course either semester and now has a debt I don't think she will ever repay. But it is in her name so I don't worry about it. It is just one more consequence of her substance abuse. She admitted after it was all used up that she had been drinking heavily and that was why she either failed or dropped all of the courses. As far as the car, if you said you would take it away if you found evidence of drug use, then do it. We made the mistake of "one more chance" over and over again and they just learn that they really don't have to believe anything you say that you are going to do. If he is going to withdraw from school (which it sounds like he will have to do) and he doesn't have a job, what does he need a car for? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
